Stories of the lives of white teachers, as white teachers, too
often simplify the complexities and conflicts of their work with
students of color. Drawing on in-depth interviews with five white
teachers, as well as on her own experiences, Audrey Lensmire
provides generous, complex, and critical accounts of white
teachers, against the backdrop of her sharp critique of schools and
our country's awful race history. With Charlotte, Lensmire explores
how hard it often is for white people to talk about race. Through
Darrin's stories, Lensmire illuminates this white teacher's
awakening as a raced person, his tragic relationship with a
brilliant African-American student, and how his need for control in
the classroom undermined his own sense of himself as a good person.
In her interpretations of stories told by Paul, Frida, and
Margaret, Lensmire examines how care and desire play out in
teaching students of color. In a society in which we avoid serious
conversations about race and whiteness and what these mean for the
education of our nation's children, Lensmire's book is an
invaluable resource.
